Yeah bitch we know that already

Exactly. The Pope adheres to ancient, straightforward Sunday School teachings about helping the needy and not being cruel to the vulnerable. That this is being portrayed as radical and partisan says way more about the ones making the accusation than it does about him.

Wasn’t this the one bullshit redline Schumer said Trump couldn’t cross or otherwise he’d do something? Welp

The fact that there's zero daylight between "pope they picked" and "only pope they would've picked if JD Vance really did kill the previous pope" is kind of interesting.

all of the right-wing billionaires are funding the demolition of the post-war state, while the liberal billionaires can’t be bothered to read the Wikipedia for the Federal Reserve

Well, well, well. If it isn’t the consequences of my own actions.

The leadership of the Democratic Party, eternally clueless and stuck in an Aaron Sorkin fantasy

it's jolting how little AI skepticism has reached the general public. i've had many acquaintances ask whether i use AI for research and seem shocked when i tell them it's completely useless for that purpose. my wife recently told her colleagues about hallucinations and it was news to all of them.

This is exactly how people like Sec.-In-Name-Only Noem deserve to be treated. Ahead of Noem visit, Pritzker’s office urges “all pet owners in the region to make sure all of your beloved animals are under watchful protection while the secretary is in the region.” www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/c...

🙃

“Across military Reddit forums and enlisted meme pages, Hegseth has become a regular target of satire, often referred to with nicknames such as "DUI Hire," "Whiskey Leaks" and "Kegseth."” www.military.com/daily-news/2...

What even is the Democratic party?

It's darkly funny how little attention the masked secret police receive. Last year it seemed that the chattering class would never shut up about masked undergraduates. Perhaps they saw the encampments as more of a threat to their interests than the jackboots?

It's like you can't align with a world historical bigot who decided to invest her entire life in torturing the most vulnerable people in her country without someone noticing. We must be so careful.

Thank God for small favors

A lot of American politicians, media, and public treat Trump threatening long-time US allies and partners as somehow not real. Like it's a reality TV show, or "just trolling," or part of some secretly good negotiating strategy. But all his targets are taking it very seriously, and are right to.

Every dem politician who bows to the king deserves to look like a jackass. You brought it on yourself.

declaring a moratorium on “I bet you could get Trump to do X” posts, the risk is too great

In a sane country, threatening war with a longtime ally — not to mention the threat to break U.S. and international law — over a weird personal obsession would be cause for immediate impeachment and removal.

congress should consider stopping the stupidest person who has ever lived from destroying the economy

This man defies parody

Utterly unfit.

Texas conservatives who've championed book bans & anti-LGBT policies suffered big losses tonight in school board races. And They seem to have lost their working majorities to pass their policies in big school boards. I tracked these results in FOUR boards tonight. So a 🧵 on each ICYMI.

AI art really is the aesthetic of new fascism

Nationwide protests are currently being planned for Saturday, June 14. It’s Trump’s birthday and the day of his military parade in Washington D.C.

This is fucking wild

Another example where, while the Constitution has many flaws, this isn't one of them. This results from Congress and SCOTUS deciding to ignore the Constitutional text, which specifically forbids foreign emoluments, and lists bribery as a criterion for impeachment/removal.

Each and every day the law firms that capitulated look more and more pathetic.

That’s a hell of an introductory paragraph.

All of this, every single bit of it, comes from an assumption that there MUST be a "better medicine" that they should be able to access exclusive/ahead of everyone else by virtue of being rich enough (and white) because that's how everything BUT SCIENCE works for them and they CANNOT accept "no."

from april: "We're going to follow the law, sir," Mills said. "We'll see you in court." "I look forward to that- that should be a real easy one," Trump spat back. "Enjoy your life after, governor, because I don't think you'll be in elected politics." www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

The US government, which has claimed it has to destroy American universities because a few pro-Palestinian protesters are evidence of unchecked anti-Semitism, is defending an actual neo-Nazi party in Germany.

Polygon is dead, so why not support a gaming journalism website that won't sell itself to venture capital? www.rascal.news

Remember when every senate Democrat voted to confirm this piece of human excrement? Good times.

Rubio publicly criticizing an ally for cracking down on right-wing extremism. And Germany hitting back. We are in a new world

I am going to become the Joker.

Oh don't worry everyone, impeachment is totally unserious and Trump is totally not worried about it.

The fact that Musk is seeking new government spending on his companies while dismantling spending on core public services seems like a bit of a conflict.

Utterly grotesque. Neutrality theater journalism that treats both sides as the same, regardless of how extreme they are; a reflexive tendency to appease and acquiesce; pervasive reactionary, anti-“woke” impulses in the higher echelons of these institutions - all adding up to this. Shameful.
